(4,359 posts)So, for a Presidential candidate to be saying I should be able to get married, to me, is a huge change during my lifetime. I can see the big picture and I've been working hard this entire time for equal rights.
Do I wish it was faster? Hell yes. But the big issues in the 70s are ALL still a big battle. Women's rights, clean air and water, nuclear proliferation....none of those big issues have been fixed yet.
Gay rights, have come a LONG way in comparison to other social issues. Um, citizenship? voting issues? gun control?
I at least have a domestic partnership. They still have assault rifles, pollution, coal, no ERA, nuclear power...
The gay people are finally winning and I am grateful for every politician who uses their platform to ask for my equal rights.
So, for me, thank you Hillary Clinton.
